Ok, I had to order this dress from another store location, because BR didn't have any more online or at any stores in the bay area. So I need opinions. Do I look preggers? Too booby? I'm not sure I'm doing the top thing right... the halter part is the same ribbons that come out at the bust.

Here I am in it... pardon the frown and mess.

Here's the BR pic from online.

not trying to be rude but i didn't read what you wrote and i thought you were pregnant. It looks great up top but with your tiny frame i think you can do so much more then that dress! Or you need a smaller size around the waist.

Either way your beautiful!

I think it's a pretty good emipre waist dress...it does look a tiny bit preggo---but not NEARLY as much as some of those shirts/dresses do!

Hm. I'm still trying to decide...going from the picture posted online, the bow on your's looks a bit "frumpy" and wrinkled. Not sure how to fix that though...steam it?

you're beautiful! i know what you're saying about the empire waist though. honestly it's hard to tell with just a picture.
the BR pic looks different, like her back dips lower or something?

Yeah I was wondering... on their website they show her wearing it and the back is hanging so low. I tried on a 2 in the store in a similar dress and the back hung down beneath my bra, but now I have a 0 and I'm not sure how it's supposed to fit. I dunno if I'm too busty for it or what. or if I'm not doing the top right.

It also looks like different materal. Yours looks a tad silky. Hers looks different and lighter. More than likely it's the light. But i still think the waist is too big. Even for that style of dress. Can you put the back lower? I think because of how tight the bust is and how loose the mid is that what make you look preggers.

I could but then my bra shows... I guess I could try to find one that goes lower cause I'm not one to go without!!!

The shiney look to the dress makes it look like a nightgown to me :(

I like the fabric of the one in the picture. Luckily you're so pretty and thin that you look great in everything :lol

I dunno if it's the lighting or what... it doesn't look that shiny in person. it's a silk though so it's not completely flat in color either.

I wanted to add that the style of the dress is great on you. I just wasn't sure about the shiney fabric.

Yeah they are there, but they are more under the boob on me... I'm a size zero but I'm a full C cup so it fits me dif from the model. I'm just trying to decide if the way it fits me is ok?

Honestly my first thought is it looks like a nightie...I like the color on you but I think with your tiny frame something more fitting would look better.

I love the color but think you should highlight your awesome figure with something more fitted, I think empire waists makes even the tiniest gals look preggo.

I think its cute :) Not too booby and you def DONT look preggo. I'd kill to be as skinny as you! I'd get a clear shoe to go with it :)

You seem very tiny for that big of a dress. It is cute but looks like pjs to me.

I don't think it's too booby or you look preggo, but I don't think the top is done right. On the model the waist kind of comes to a point at the cleavage, but the waist on yours is more straight across, if that makes sense at all.

yeah so does that mean it looks like I need a bigger size?
Who knew a dress could be so confusing!

Honestly Elizabeth, I think the dress is pretty & looks ok on you but you have such a great, thin figure that it doesn't suit you as well as it should! IMO, it looks a little frumpy b/c your so thin and it's just something about how it fits your mid section. :shrug
